Former Coventry City captain Carl Baker got more than he bargained for on Twitter when he asked an innocent Sky Blues related question.

The midfielder took to the social media site to ask fans if they had a concrete, definitive goal and appearance tally for his stint with the Ricoh Arena club.

The Portsmouth forward and former Coventry City captain was tipped to return to the Ricoh , to be closer to home and hook back up with his former boss - Mark Robins - who handed him the armband during his first spell in charge in 2012.

But Kenny Jackett, who has been impressed with the veteran’s pre-season contribution, maintains Baker's future lies with League One side Portsmouth.

On Twitter, Baker queried: "Hey any stato's that can tell me how many league and cup games I made and goals scored. Thanks.

"Soccerbase and wiki are incorrect."

Despite Baker also questioning Southport FC - another of his former clubs - the same, some City fans joked that it was a sign of his impending return.

"You planning on adding to that number?" asked one, cheekily.

Another added: "Well you've still got more appearances for us to make in the league and cup carl!"
